ATRIBUNE representative, by request,
dropped in to see the new hearse, receiv-
ed, this week, by J. A. Miller, the we'll
known undertaken. A glance reveals
the fact hat it is one of the finest In
this section of the state. The body has
octagon front and back and futed col
umns and corners, and is handsomely
decorated throughout, many of the orna-
ments being of polished silver. Alarge
urn ornaments the centre Of the top
with corresponding urns on each corner.
Silver bouquet holders for floral offer
ings add to the general effect. The
hearse is equipped with a portable dray
"a great convenience for pall-bearers.
The trimmings are of extra gold plate,
with toe rugs, etc. Also, with the latest
patent ventilator. Mr.. Miller, among
other conveniences, has purchased an
ice cooler, with cooling boards with ad-
Unstable head combined, for preserving
bodies, which by this process can be
kept an indefinite period as well and
more cheaply than by embalming-ex-
cept in cases for transportation.

This depreciation of values should
not be interpreted TO mean that the
country is collapsing, or coming to
ruin. Not at all. 1t simply means
that things are finding their proper
level. The imitation consequent on
great expectations, excited hopes,
and unreasonable anticipations is
blowing off, and people are becom-
ing Gained down to that condition
of mind where they can dispassion-
ately look at things as they really
are. But the lowest point is not
reached yet, and before revival be-
gins there is danger of going to the
opposite extreme.
Rents in the business parts of the
city continue to maintain rates above
what the state of business warrants.
Ground rents and shop rents are
exorbitantly high. The takings OF
many businesses are swallowed up by
rents and running expenses, and the
proprietors live on faith and hope.
But these cannot continue for ever
to supply the place of profits, and
the reduction of rents, or the shut.
ting-up Of shops, will probably be-
come imperative ere long, in more
cases than one.

CONSOLIDATION OF TWO LITERARY
INSTITUTIONS.

We understand that an arrange
ment has been concluded between
the officers of the Library and Read
ing Room Association on the one
hand, and the Boys Reading Room
on the other, by which the books
and other effects of the latter Or
ganization will be transferred to the
former, and the boys association
wound up, its members being ad-
mitted to the privileges of the larger
and older society for term Of years
which has been agreed upon as
fair offset to the value of the pro-
perty so transferred. This may be
regarded as move in the right di-
rection, it being manifestly unwise
to attempt in place of this size, to
divide strength by multiplying Or
ganizations having the same general
objects. This community is well
able to support in good style, one
institution of this kind, and can
hardly be expected to support two.
The present arrangement will be
mutually advantageous, the Library
Association receiving an accession of
several hundred books and the boys
enjoying in return the advantage of a
we'll equipped reading room, open
every day and evening, as we'll as
the use of a library Of between five
and six thousand volumes.

AMERICAN SUGAR.

A telegram from st. Louis, dated
Feb. 8. states that the National Sugar
growers Association met in that
city this afternoon. A. M. Scoville,
Director of the agricultural station
at Lexington, KY, presided. Presi-
dent Colman's address was read by
the Secretary, showing the total
production of cane sugar in lS85-SG
was 3,l97, 900 meteric tons, and in
lSS6-87 was 1868, 900 meteric tons.
The production of sugar from
sorghum cane in this country from
Europe had only commenced, but
had already reached an amount
equal to our total production of all
kinds of sugar. The Commissioner
considers that upon the whole
altho ugh the expectations of year
ago have not been reflized, the out

PROPERTY VALUES FINDING THEIR
Level.

When this paper asserted,
couple of years or so ago, that pro-
perty in and around Honolulu was
selling at price above its real
value, that values were then inflated,
and that reaction had commenced
and prices would come down, some
people in the community said that
we were mistaken and knew nothing
about it. Subsequent history has
unmistakably shown that they were
wrong and the BULLETIN right.
Values have steadily deprecated
during the past two or three years,
and are now at lower point than
for several years past. True, occa-
sionaliy property is offered at
auction which someone has resolved
to purchase at any cost, and a fancy
price Is realised. These particular
cases are not to be taken as criteriOns
of value, but rather as exceptions
to the rule.
Several sales of real estate have
taken place recently, and prices
generally have scarcely exceeded one
half of what they were two or three
years, or even one year, ago. Take,
for instance, the houses and lots
sold on Wednesday and one day last
week, by Mr.. Levey, at Palama.
These properties were thoroughly
advertised, and it was widely known
that they were in the market. Yet,
SO to speak, they went begging for
purchasers, and were "knocked
down" at prices not exceeding one
half of what the owner could have
readily got for them little more
than year ago.
Real estate in general has depre-
ciated in u similar ratio in the city
and its suburbs. And what wonder?
Why should building sites and build
ings in town like Honolulu, with
abundance of land unoccupied, and
no back country to support it, be
priced at rates equal to those of
many large and crowded cities, with
populous and productive country
behind them?

A PLEA FOR DECENTRALIZATION.

ALMOST Since inc Qay UnaU tne loT-
eign press was born on these islands,
a municipality has been advocated
for the administration of the Public
Works Department, in common with
other Government departments of
this city. 1t strikes new arrival
in Honolulu with surprise, to find
the extreme centralization which OBJ
tains in all administrative matters of
the Hawaiian Government. To an
old resident, it has become stereo-
typed, but he cannot fail to see that
the gradual development of Homo
lulu is being unduly fostered at the
expense of the country at large.
1t may seem strange that in a COM
munity such as comprises the wealth
or backbone of Honolulu, an Anglo
Saxon community in fact, the
minutest detail of the administra-
ton should originate in, and be
directed from, one Office, so to
speak, the Interior Department.
But such is the case. Were the
administration such that there could
be little or no fault-finding we would
say in the words of the immortal
Shakespeare: ''Better to bear the
ills we have, than fly to those we
know not Of" but the manner in
which things are conducted at the
present time, and have been for
some time past, is nothing more nor
less than parody on the common
sense Of the people. The conse-
quences of the present system of
management-Or want OF manage
ment-have become painfully appa-
rent, and are daily increasing in in
tensity. The unwieldyness of that
portion of the administration allotted
to the Interior Department, has
caused a congestion of work at the
head office. In order to relieve this
congestion, and to impart vitality,
suggestions have frequently been
made for relieving the Minister of
the Interior Of large portion of
the work which at present comes
within his department, by establish
ing metropolitan board of works,
a harbor board and other public
bodies of that kind. 1t is only too
evident that an improvement on the
present state of things is necessary,
and that local wants should be at.
tended to, in preference to Soutl
Sea Island missions and Kaimilo,
uniforms. The roads, a subject O.
which the public are no doubt as
sick and tired of reading about, a.
the newspaper editor is of writing
on, demand immediate attention
The present condition of the street:
in and around Honolulu, is execra
BILE. If the wants of this city anC
its suburbs, were entrusted to loca
management, there is no doubt they
could be far better attended to, an(
the wants of the people more
speedily effected, than by the pre-
sent imperfect and overburdeneG
central office, known as the interior
Department. 1t would impair
greater energy and activity, ant
permit of the introduction OF new
ideas.
